Strengthening Alternative Measures Across the Caribbean

The Caribbean Association of Probation and Parole (CAPP) is pleased to highlight the publication of the Mapping Exercise: Alternative Measures in the Caribbean Region, developed within the framework of the European Union-funded EL PAcCTO 2.0 Programme.

This comprehensive assessment provides a regional overview of alternative sentencing practices, probation structures, and the broader development of non-custodial measures across Caribbean jurisdictions. The study draws on surveys, interviews, and open-source research, with analysis guided by the Domains and Enablers model.

The findings reflect both progress and opportunity. There is clear regional commitment toward strengthening probation services, advancing alternative sanctions, and enhancing cross-border collaboration. CAPP remains committed to supporting this development, fostering professional exchange, and contributing to policy dialogue across the region.
We extend our appreciation to all focal points, practitioners, and partners who contributed their expertise and insights.
